Hello.
I am new to fish keeping and was bought a Biorb 30ltr classic by my son. I am now aware of the cycling process (unfortunately though I didn't get this info until after I put fish in it) and I have had high ammonia levels for the past 8 weeks despite doing 20-50% water changes every other day. Levels are now 2ppm down from 6ppm. Nitrates and nitrites are both 0. My tank just does not seem to be cycling. Unfortunately I have lost 3 fish so now only have 5 harlequin rasboras and 4 emba tetras. Started off with 6 of each which I think was too many for the size of the tank.
Any advice? Thank you.
